We can return in another two or three years.” Bi Zhu leaned on the table. “There might be major changes overseas in the next few years. It’s really strange…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Princess, what is strange?” Qiao Yi asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her cultivation realm had improved, and she was already at the late stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had taken less than forty years for her to reach this realm. It was quite fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bi Zhu sighed. She wondered why the world had fallen into chaos right after Jing had gone into seclusion for fifteen years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wherever she went, she saw chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they were in the South, there was chaos. Her two brothers had been extremely busy because of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were countless natural and man-made disasters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The royal family and the immortal sects tried their best to help, but the drought and floods could not be stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The South was on the verge of collapse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People opened warehouses everywhere and stored food there. The situation became a little better because of that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, Bi Zhu went overseas and saw that the overseas was in chaos too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sea waves surged and swept across countless islands. Some poisonous creatures had appeared in some parts of the sea and turned these areas into dead zones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with many cultivators helping overseas, they still could not withstand it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only some powerful sects remained unscathed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the calamities continued to affect everyone and made it extremely dangerous to traverse the sea. It was not safe at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you think the Twelve Heavenly Kings can really become immortals?” Bi Zhu asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many people knew that the Twelve Heavenly Kings were preparing to become immortals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t know.” Qiao Yi shook her head. “But no one seems to know what might happen when they try to become immortals anyway.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bi Zhu nodded. That was true.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many people knew that the Twelve Heavenly Kings wanted to become immortals, but no one knew when they planned to do so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bi Zhu could guess. She thought that it might be soon. Maybe in the next few years. But she did not have many details.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was another reason she wanted to stay overseas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the immortal opportunity came about, she wanted to grab it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So far, her luck had not changed, which meant that she was not in danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If her luck blazed again, she would have to leave. She could not risk it, no matter how great the opportunity might be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Princess, have you thought it through?” Qiao Yi suddenly asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“About what?” Bi Zhu asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your age,” Qiao Yi said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My age? I’m only eighteen. What about it?” Bi Zhu asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“An ordinary person only lives for a few decades. You’re eighteen. You have maybe another seventy or eighty years to live,” said Qiao Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bi Zhu understood. “It’s okay. We’ll cross the bridge when we come to it. My brothers will understand.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Yi nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Princess Bi Zhu was always criticized when she returned home, she still returned after a while. It was sad to think that she would not be returning home soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had been overseas for many years. It would not be a big deal for them to stay a few years longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Yi was relieved that they did not encounter the Golden Core Realm experts this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She did not encounter any Golden Core experts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Heavenly Spirit Tribe did not have that many people around, so she was not worried about being discovered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had better luck than the other members of the Heavenly Spirit Tribe and had learned four Heaven-Bestowed Cultivation Techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was also the secret technique of the Saint Bandits that allowed her to cultivate the other four techniques simultaneously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it was not much at the moment, her improvement in her cultivation realm would be great in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that the princess was able to wait for such an opportunity so casually that made Qiao Yi curious about Princess Bi Zhu’s real strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had been so many years, but she had never seen Princess Bi Zhu in action.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bi Zhu was still paying attention to the Shangguan Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew that this clan had a history with Gu Changsheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What made her even more interested was that these people were able to suppress the curse because of Smiling San Sheng, but their improvement over the years had been impressive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They also did not seem like they wanted to be under other people’s control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as she marveled at the lack of vision of this clan, she suddenly sensed the vibration of the stone tablet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, she decided to go to another island.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Yi did not refuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That night, they found a room to stay in. Bi Zhu lay down on the bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was midnight when Bi Zhu entered the stone tablet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the past ten years, only four people attended the gathering, excluding Senior Dan Yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She did not know if Jing would be present this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without Jing, there was no news about the three dangerous pearls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She did not know if something bad was happening because of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she entered the stone tablet, she counted the number of people who appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She counted five people, excluding Senior Dan Yuan!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gui was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She realized that Jing had joined after fifteen years of absence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was not the only one who had noticed it. The others were also shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, they did not say anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, they greeted Senior Dan Yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Looks like you’re out of seclusion, Friend Jing,” said Dan Yuan with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao nodded but did not say anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, the gathering progressed as usual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Senior Dan Yuan asked everyone if they had any problems with their cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gui asked about the Heaven-Bestowed Cultivation Techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Senior Dan Yuan answered their questions one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, he asked if there had been any progress with the information on the Four Great Monsters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Hao was surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After fifteen years, when he saw the stone tablet vibrate, he hesitated to enter it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was almost time. He had done everything that he needed to. He could not make any more progress in the remaining time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had prepared everything he needed to do. The rest would depend on Hai Luo and the other kings.\u003C\u002Fp>",1111,"2026-06-03T11:46:20.154Z","2026-06-03T11:46:27.041Z",1,"novelbin.me","4880f2008b0b857e2654d5ddd22bf534d2be00004c42b7365cb03d2bcf2f7d38","cultivating-in-secret-beside-a-demoness-chapter-1221","cultivating-in-secret-beside-a-demoness-chapter-1219",2139,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcultivating-in-secret-beside-a-demoness-cover.jpg"]
